Lu Yihan, who was sitting in the corner, looked up and saw Sun Lin. She had calmed down by now and was not surprised at all. "Did the uncle ask you to come?"
Sun Lin did not answer her question, but slowly said: "Princess, do you want to end it yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
Lu Yihan raised the corner of his mouth: "If you help me, how will you help me?"
"If I help you, your death may be painful. Are you sure you can bear it?"
"Hahaha~" Lu Yihan laughed out loud.
"In that case, I apologize for my offense." Sun Lin used the key to open the cell door and walked into the cell.
Lu Yihan did not sit there and wait for death. She directly attacked Sun Lin, but Sun Lin was agile and pinned Lu Yihan under him in a few moves.
Sun Lin took the bowl from the table next to him and threw it on the ground.
"Princess, I'm sorry~"
Sun Lin picked up the fragments on the ground and cut them off at Lu Yihan's wrist. This time, Sun Lin did not use too much force, only causing a slight break in the skin of Lu Yihan's wrist.
But as the porcelain pieces in Sun Lin's hand fell one by one, the force gradually increased, and blood gushed out from his wrist.
"Princess, you are in pain, but don't worry, the blood in your wrist will soon dry up, and you won't feel the pain anymore."
After Sun Lin finished speaking, he frowned and turned around, only to see a group of people rushing towards him.
The people who came were Liu Quan, Lin Jingzhou, Shang Yuanshan, and Wang Sicheng.
Sun Lin was surprised: "Sir, aren't you reviewing the files?"
Liu Quan: "Read the files? If I read the files, how would I know that the junior whom I have always trusted is the murderer who has been killing people in the Dali Temple."
Seeing this, Sun Lin stopped pretending. "A trusted junior is also a useful dog, right? You send me to investigate all the cases outside the capital, while you sit in the capital and wait for credit, and you are unwilling to let go of the power in the capital."
Liu Quan looked at Sun Lin in disbelief: "So, you've always thought of me like this?"
Wang Sicheng said at the side: "Sun Lin, you really have never realized the painstaking efforts of the adults."
Sun Lin sneered: "Wang Danian, just be his dog. What kind of hard work can he have?"
Wang Sicheng looked at Sun Lin with disappointment: "Sun Lin, do you know why your father died?"
"You still have the nerve to talk about my father. If it weren't for my father, how could you be where you are today? If nothing happened to my father, how could Liu Quan be able to sit in this position of the Supreme Court Minister?"
Liu Quan sighed when he heard this: "Yes, if it weren't for Master, I would have died in the hands of the thieves long ago. How could I be here today?"
"Liu Quan, you are not worthy. You are not worthy to call him Master."
Wang Sicheng roared: "Sun Lin, that's enough. You shouldn't say that to the master. If the master hadn't rescued you from those people, you and your parents would have died in their hands.
Do you know why the master has only tried cases in recent years and never done anything else in person? That's because the master was seriously injured when he saved you that time, and his hands can no longer hold a knife. "
"So what? He didn't help my father get revenge all these years, and he didn't want me to get involved in the case in the capital. Who knows if he was the one who killed my family back then."
"Sun Lin, wake up. Do you know how complicated the capital is? The master doesn't let you get involved in cases in the capital just to protect you. At least the people behind the scenes won't take action against you because you get involved in those cases. The master is helping you clear all obstacles and training your ability to protect yourself."
Sun Lin shook his head frantically: "No, no, he has done nothing these years. He has always been timid."
Liu Quan stopped Wang Sicheng from continuing to speak and looked at Sun Lin. "Why, do you think I should show my talents, but I was killed before I could find out the truth about the case?"
"You you you..." Sun Lin completely collapsed this time. He knelt on the ground, staring at Liu Quan.
Liu Quan: "Sun Lin, you still have a chance to redeem yourself from your crime. As long as you tell the truth about who ordered you to commit the crime, I will protect you even if I have to sacrifice my position as the Supreme Court Justice."
Tears fell from Sun Lin's eyes, and he pounded his hands on the ground in regret. "He is..."
"Puchi~" A hidden weapon hit Sun Lin right between his eyebrows.
Liu Quan: "Sun Lin~"
Shang Yuanshan didn't expect that despite their preparedness, Lu Mubai's men still found an opportunity. He calmly ordered: "Go after them~"
Liu Quan completely collapsed at this moment. He rushed forward, picked up Sun Lin, and reached out his trembling hand to feel Sun Lin's breath.
At this time, Sun Lin had already stopped breathing, and Liu Quan cried silently.
Lu Yihan, who was lying on the ground beside her, had already turned pale due to excessive blood loss. Her weak voice came out, "Lord Shang, save me~"
Shang Yuanshan then looked at Lu Yihan who was completely ignored. Shang Yuanshan ordered a doctor to go in immediately to help Lu Yihan stop the bleeding and bandage the wound.
Finally, Wang Sicheng stepped forward and helped Liu Quan up. "Sir, you have done enough for him."
Liu Quan finally found his voice: "Master, it was my fault that I failed to protect Lin'er. I should have made it clear to him earlier."
Wang Sicheng wanted to persuade him, but he held back. He looked at his men behind him. "Take Sun Lin's body away first."
"yes."
After a while, Liu Quan slowly recovered from his sorrow.
Shang Yuanshan stepped forward and patted Liu Quan on the shoulder. "Master Liu, some things are beyond your control. Don't blame yourself."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed Lord Shang and Minister Lin."
Lin Jingzhou: "Master Liu, you should go back and rest first. Leave this to me and Yuanshan."
"No need. I want to find out the person behind this together." Liu Quan straightened his shoulders at this moment, no longer looking as nonchalant as usual.
Liu Quan paused for a moment and continued, "I have another case and would like to trouble you, Lord Marquis, to help analyze it."
"Okay~"
Lin Jingzhou and Shang Yuanshan followed Liu Quan and went with him to Liu Quan's study in the Dali Temple. "Wang Sicheng and his men are guarding outside. No one is allowed to enter."
"Yes~"
Liu Quan closed the door of the study, walked to the bookshelf, turned the mechanism on the bookshelf, and then a secret door popped out from the wall on one side.
Liu Quan: "Please come in~"
The three of them entered the secret room together.
There were no valuable items in this secret room. There was only a desk and a chair. Instead, the entire wall was covered with files and portraits.
Shang Yuanshan and Lin Jingzhou were both attracted by the files on the wall. After they finished reading all the records on the wall, they both frowned and thought.
Liu Quan: "My Lord, Minister Lin, you two should have heard of this case ten years ago, right?"
Shang Yuanshan nodded: "I know. If it weren't for the former Dali Temple Minister Sun Hongchang, our Xiling Kingdom would have been invaded by the people of Nanjiang Kingdom and would not have any ability to fight back."
